Hi All,

 

According to NetBackup Vault operators's guide:

*********************************************************************

Caution: If media are not removed and a time out condition occurs, the media are
returned to (injected into) the library slots in the robot.
If a time out occurs, you should inventory the robot as described in the chapter
about management of media in robots in the NetBackup Administrator’s Guide.
 

*********************************************************************

 

I would like to how how can i change the timeout value in NetBackup?

 

Thanks!

Solution


Add a directive to the /usr/openv/volmgr/vm.conf file on the robot control host, and restart MM  daemons for the change to take effect. The directive is

MAP_CONTINUE_TIMEOUT = <timeout in seconds>

For example, to set the amount of time to remove tapes from the MAP  to 15 minutes, add the directive

MAP_CONTINUE_TIMEOUT = 900

and restart MM  processes on the robot control host.
